Dating scammer Kenny Williams

Other Comments:Posing as an exporter of cars/spare parts. Lives in Alameda, Mexico. Of german parentage. On business trip to Ghana. Met through dating.direct.com although he disappeared from that site a few dys later. Photos of him can be found on www.focusagencyhawaii.com commercial section. Scammers use this site a lot for their photos.

The photos of 'Kenny Williams' are also of 'Robin James.' He just contacted me through match.com, where his profile is now visible under the name 'peacemindedguy.' I have attached a photo, which is of a great-looking guy sitting casually in blue jeans and a loose shirt, with reddish-blond hair and an engaging smile.

Fortunately, I am in a profession where I have received numerous scam emails from Nigerians and the pattern of his language seemed familiar so I checked him out on the Internet. His incongruent claim of being Native American, yet with a mother from Scotland and a father from Tennessee was just a bit much, as well. His profile and his email were over the top, but as someone said elsewhere...everything a woman dreams of finding in a man. Will do what I can to help him get caught...but I would sure like to meet the REAL guy in the photo!

This is the intro to his profile:

Am Robin by name and am well known as a very honest and nice man who is also looking for a honest woman. Am an easy going, honest, loyal, caring, down to earth and loving man who is also a romantic, understanding, passionate and emotional person. Very sentimental, takes things at heart and face value. I like to travel to different places if I could. I love a good conversation, or a good non-fighting debate. Like to garden and really like the out-doors. I love candle-light or fireplace conversation or just to sit and share the evening with someone of good companionship. Like to dine out or in with the person of my picking. I like holding hands and etc. Sometime its just wonderful to be held by someone who really cares for you. I'M LOOKING FOR THAT SPECIAL WOMAN WHOM I WOULD SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH. Am divorced with 2 kids who is married and gone now. Am an Architect as a self employed man, my mom is from Scotland while my dad is from TN but i lost them in a terrible car accident when i was just 5 years of age. I guess that will be enough for now so if you want to know more, just send me a message. By the way who said love at first sight didn't mean forever? Happiness is not putting on a smile when your heart is sad. Real happiness is to smile when your heart is open for it.

This is the email he sent, with all his contact info:

Hello Dear,
Am Robin James by name and your name is........? I would love to get to know more about you because i have gone through your profile and everything about it shows that you have absolutely a wonderful and great personality that any man could think of. I am aged 56, am from Memphis, TENNESSEE and i live in Greentrees Neighborhood. Am Divorced now for the past 6 years now with 2 kids who are both married and right now resides in Germany with 5 grandkids. Am here in search for that true heart who i would love and cherish and be happy with to spend the rest of my entire days and life time with and i believe i would find her on here. Am an Architect and am into building and designing plans as an independent man but right now and also into antiques as it's something i just came up with now. Am planning on going to Africa in some few days time from now to secure a project deal that i applied for and at the same time use it to explore and take a look about how Africa's culture is, then i will get back to the states in another 10 days from when am gone. I would love to hear and know more about you to start from there and know where that will lead us to. You can email or IM me through my Hotmail email address which i check frequently which is godfatherisgood@/h/o/t/m/a/i/l/d/o/t/c/o/m or you can also IM me on Yahoo Messenger IM which is lovelyrobinj007......Am kind of new on this site and i don't think or know if i'll be long on this dating site, so i would like you to get to me on my own personal Yahoo Account so we can continue from there and see what the lord has in plan for us..... I hope you having a lovely and progressing day today and also looking forward in hearing from you soon.

P.S I don't see distance as a problem to me because i can go any lenght for the woman of my choice. One thing you should know is that i plan on coming over to your city soon to see how it looks like and if i find it interesting, i want to relocate there with the woman of my dreams. LOVE CANNOT BE FORCED, IT COMES OUT OF HEAVEN UNASKED AND UNTHOUGHT and Laughter is the one thing everybody needs but Love is the one true thing a Heart desires, multiply it by Infinity and take it to the depths of Forever!!
Keep In Touch.

I already reported this internet scam to Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of Nigeria last October 2008 thru the email ad posted on their official site. Until now, it seems nothing is happening. I believe this is really a big syndicate working on this scam thru the different social network and dating sites. One thing for sure, the syndicate is operating in Lagos, Nigeria. They are receiving the money they got from their gullible victims thru Western Union Money Transfer in Lagos, Nigeria. Can't the authorities work/coordinate with the Western Money Union to be able to catch and put in prison these criminals? I do not want to question their authority but I am just really disappointed.

These names received the money they extorted from me thru Western Union Money Transfer: Femi George, Solomon David and Abimbola Oluwatosi. These bastards enjoyed the money that I borrowed from friends and now I am in difficulty paying them back. I pray that these crimes be stopped and these scammers to be in jail, lifetime imprisonment. This Julius Mcanthony is really good in making stories to his victims. He used this email ad: julius_mcanthony@yahoo.com.uk

Please let us all do our best to give information about the modus operandi of these scammers and let the public be aware and the authorities be informed and come up with strategies they can utilize to catch these criminals. Thank you.

NOW I AM DEALING WITH THIS GUY. His tricks are:
1. He is an orphan. a lecturer in Menchaster University. Now a contractor in Nigeria.
2. He loves me in two days n two weeks after, he wants me to choose a house here and he want to move here to spend rest of his life with me.
3. He want to send money from Nigeria to MY ACCOUNT in order to pay for the house.
(it is MONEY LAUNDRY- common trick used by fraud) I say no.
4. He bought jewery and want to come here to meet me and give me Jewery as gift.
(it is another trick for money laundry). But I said ok. I am waiting him to SHOW OUT.
5. He booked the ticket this weekend.

I FOUND OUT THERE ARE SO MANY PLACES SUSPECT. I TYPE: JULIUS MCANTHONY in network and found out this web site and just approve what I thought.
I follow the previous lady mentioned to check the air plane ticket but actually he is not at passenger's list. and I believe he will be CAR ACCIDENT before he take this flight and then he will ask me for help to send him money ......

BE CAREFUL! DON'T GIVE UR BANK ACCOUNT TO A MAN who u JUST KNOW FEW DAYS, even he said he want to send u money. THEY ARE FRAUDS!

I will stop connecting with him from now and change my phone number. It is very terrible. and THEY ARE A HUGE GROUP!!!

Thank you for you for the patient to me, as you and the whole family ........ I hope to do great, I would tell you a little about my family and me and ma background too. How do you know ma name Keith Gary, 52 years old, widowed, I am 6.0 meters tall and I am looking for a normal man, my favorite color is blue or sea blue to say, my favorite I must say is that anything would keep me healthy.

I have a beautiful family that really concerns me and that is pretty late but my mother and my late father, I am the only son of parents and ma have leaves with them for the birth until I was 22 when I decided to leave the home and start a life, I really spent a lot in life, many ups and downs as we all know, but God almighty, helped me through every thing until the day I am sending this e-mail your. I am a Christian and I really believe in God but I love, I like to meet people and not look down on anyone that comes ma way, because who knows you may be I need something and that person is a ma to help you

I lost ma dad in a car accident that was in February 1999 and my mother also died of typhoid fever in April of 2002, but now everything is OK with me and ma family,. Enough with that, I am working as an export and import of electronics, appliances and trucks, I really like helping others when I need too, I like to travel, like reading, dancing, and cooking and I also cook for you a day for you but taste lovely meal and I hope you will like it.

I leave alone at home with ma ma daughter and 1 dog topcy know that I really like animals and I hope you have a pet too? lol.Life has gone very well with me, but the left one thing I have to leave the life as a man and a woman who is a ma part, because there is a saying that but Dad always said 'Behind every successful man is a woman 'to know matter what I have to get married and would like to know if I can really share life with me and please you before anything that would let you know that I have been in a relationship, but landed me in pain, so I hope I can share with you ma life and I hope that I would never feel any pain, but the end of this relationship is love, joy, happiness, loyalty and trust. I respect the opinion of each woman in life, I just want to have a woman who loves me for who I am and not what I am, a woman who would always be for me, as I was by his side, a lady-dealing me exactly the way I would treat her, a woman who would love everything I have and I love everything she has.

What would be a return if it has all the power in this world, and already met the love? I have talked enough about ma self and I would end it hear, please, I hope to hear from you soon. I care and would be expecting your lovely mail. and have attached a photo of me and my daughter Thank you for your time.
your new friend Keith.

It has said it would not have the money to me through western union asked me to suggest that use Moneygram, looking at the site saw an indication of Moneygram to report online fraud.
I suspect that he was a biter when I began talking to apply money, I said I have no money to implement. Had many questions answered and just never allowed me to see him on webcam, that made me suspicious of his identity. Also sent me two photos rather indiscreet, perhaps hoping my instincts awaken. It was not clear to me your country of residence, spoke to lived in London, and his work was import and export of home appliances, electronics and trucks.
Invites me to visit him in England and meet his daughter, says as soon as want to come to Brazil to spend the San Valentine's Day with me, then you should talk to a trip to Ghana and then come to Brazil soon after 'needs' to go to Georgia in the United States and spend a week there, after coming to Brazil for its invitation to the monitor to Ghana.
When the United States on a Saturday, the problems begin. The bank account where you should get you a credit of $ 24,000, but only lent him 12,500, because the missing half the money needed to release the cargo exported to Ghana.
Early requests for money, needed to get $ 5500 ..., asked me $ 1500 for several days, I have not replied saying the money. Finally the value reduced to $ 350 that was required to pay to submit documents to the National Bank of Ghana to pay the check that it had received.
Well come to the end value of $ 100 also very requested but not sent by Prince Charming Beautiful Keith Gary. Only came to this site searching for Zip Code 00233 Accra Ghana.

Keith Gary found me on the site Tagged, I do not know details, because between the time to add me to MSN and the first email you sent me I cancel my profile on Tagged.

I was contacted by this man through match.com. He claimed to be 'Richard Douglas' an American Citizen, raised in Germany by his mother. He claimed to be a widower with a 10 year old son. He was in Africa building log homes and would soon be returning to Plattsmouth, NE where he said he was born. He wrote me poems and professed to 'love me' and couldn't wait to meet me. This went on for two months, when suddenly, he and his son were held up by armed robbers on the way to the job site. He called me a couple of times, the last being a plea for help. He said his son needed blood or he would die. I told him to contact the American Red Cross. The next day I got another email stating that he did that and his son was better, but they were so hungry, hadn't eaten for days. Again, I told him to contact the Red Cross, they would help him, haven't heard from him since. I never believed a word of it, what a jerk! Too bad, he is a good looking guy and very convincing. I wish I had known about this web site earlier, as I have most of the pictures and more, and also pictures of an adorable little boy, who is supposedly his son.
